Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez came to Milwaukee's south side Monday to deliver a message to voters: "Our vote is our voice. When we vote, we win."

Perez said there are roughly 150,000 Latinos in Wisconsin who can vote and they can be "a difference maker" in Tuesday's election.

For Democrats, Wisconsin is a top prize, with Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin up against Republican Leah Vukmir and Republican Gov. Scott Walker facing Democrat Tony Evers.

Milwaukee is also among three finalists to stage the 2020 Democratic Convention, along with Houston and Miami Beach.

"Divide and conquer has been the M.O. of Scott Walker and Wisconsinites are tired of it," said Perez, whose wife is from Wisconsin and whose daughter attends the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "He's had wanderlust for years. He wanted to be president. We need a governor who is 100 percent focused on the job. Scott Walker is running for re-election for lack of something else to do."

Perez was upbeat about Democratic chances across the nation in Tuesday's election, especially in the Midwest, which in 2016 helped elect President Donald Trump.

He said there are "opportunities to flip red to blue" in the industrial Midwest in governor's races in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, as well as South Dakota.

"We're focused on the issues that people care about," he said. "If you look at the closing argument of Trump, it's a closing argument of fear and division."
